Unfortunately, all that does is pushes the trust from the sponsee to someone else. Since I don't know you any better than the sponsee, that doesn't help very much. In theory, if one was trying to do something dodgy, you could just be a sock puppet... <grin> OTOH, if you know any DDs personally, your advocacy and prompting might be enough to get them to upload it, so that's a possible option. Doesn't help if you're not friends with a DD in real life. > If you'd prefer to do it yourself, you can register as a Palm developer at > palmsource.com for no charge; this will give you access to all of Palm's > ROM files, going all the way back to the original Pilot 1000. Hmm... now *there's* an option... I'll have a look at their "licence agreement" if I get time. I wouldn't rely on my sponsorship, though. - Matt
